An Emotional Freedom Technique(EFT) is a specific form of alternative psychotherapy that involves a trained specialist tapping on specific pressure points on the body, while the patient focuses on a traumatic memory. This practice is closely related to the therapeutic practice of acupuncture. Specialists believe that this manipulates the energy field that is associated with the human body, allowing the patient to overcome the emotional turmoil caused by traumatic memories. Because of the potential dangers of the treatment, it is important that the treatment is practiced only by a trained professional.
